Think about the way you use media in your home. Consider each column of the graphic organizer and indicate how it relates to each media tool.
1. Which family member uses it the most?
2. Which family member uses it the least?
3. Use is restricted?
4. Use is unrestricted?
5. Used mostly for entertainment
6. Used mostly for homework?
7. Expensive to keep running?
8. Cheap to keep running?
1. Favorite
Dad – TV
Mom – Telephone
Ashley – TV
Brittany – Computer
Michelle – Computer
3. Least Favorite
Dad – Telephone (doesn’t like talking on the phone)
Mom – Computer (doesn’t have time to use it/doesn’t know how)
Ashley – Cell phone (doesn’t know how to use it)
Brittany – TV (doesn’t have time to watch TV due to school)
Michelle – Telephone (would rather use computer or cell phone)
3. Yes they do because if you’re a boy you don’t want to play with girl toys and vise versa. It’s like this because boys don’t want their friends thinking they are a “wuss” because they play with “girly” toys. The media has a large effect in this situation because when boys want something to play with, they want it to be something that makes them look “tough” and “manly” like the boys on TV or in advertisements. The same goes with girls, they don’t want to look “butch”, they want to look “cute and pretty”. When talking about age, it goes the same way. A toy for a three year old will not amuse someone who’s sixteen because the intelligence level is very different.
4. My TV is used the most because every person in my house knows how to use it and it is used daily.
5. The cell phone is used the least in my house because only three people have own one. My dad uses it for work, my mom uses it mostly for her drives in and out of work and Brittany uses her less and less because of the cost. My dad only uses his for calls, but Brittany and myself use the cell phone for texting as well.
